Book Synopsis

A former cop turned minister is forced to bring back his old skills when his church is rocked by a murder within its hallowed walls.

Asa Carter was once one of Chicago’s best homicide detectives. But he left that world behind to go into the ministry. When he’s offered a pastorate position in his wife’s hometown of Glen Pines—a small, quaint, and quiet town that is a far cry from Chicago—he accepts, hoping the slower pace will bring him much-needed rest.

Asa’s first day as Pastor of Grace Gospel Church is shattered, however, when the body of a young woman is found floating face down in the church baptistry. The small police force is inexperienced and unequipped to handle the investigation. The Chief wants Asa’s help, but the mayor doesn’t. It’s clear there are secrets in this town—perhaps secrets worth killing for. It’s up to Asa to bring back the skills he thought long forgotten and find the person who would kill on holy ground.
